What are we in Antarctica? What season is it already???
Today, John D. said to me, "Snow! No snow!"
And I said, "It's April 28th and sunny, there's no snow. Why are you complaining?"
And John said, "It snowed last night."
And I said, "Hmm. I thought that rain on the turnpike last night was kind of strange."
And John laughed and said, "That's because it was SNOW!"
I was driving home to Scranton from Allentown last night on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. And somewhere between the Lehigh Valley Tunnel and Hazleton, I hit such torrential rain - I thought - that I was hydroplaning - or perhaps sliding - and I could barely see the road in front of me for the rain - or I guess snow - and had to slow down to 50mph for a good 15 minutes or so. I think it did briefly cross my mind - Is this snow? - because it was so white in my headlights. I knew it wasn't hail because it wasn't bouncing off my windshield in pitter-patters. But I immediately dismissed the thought. And of course, within a few minutes, it was more "normal" torrential rain. heh.
I totally didn't expect to hit snow at all on the road, not on April 27th. Heck, I was anxious to get my snow tires off my car towards the end of March, and a few people told me to wait until April 1st. I waited til April 15th and thought that was kind of late. There's buds on the trees! John's right, NO SNOW!! We can't have more snow. I'm done with winter. I want to speak to the manager.
While driving to work today, a few cars had snow on them...nothing serious, just a dusting, but I'm just glad they were coming from the other direction.

Indeed! A friend sent me an SMS saying "snow on mountain" and I was stunned. Weird! Luckily it's gone today!!!
